That's right, they are playing the game again. The price is going through the roof, if you can find any. Ford just put a resriction on purchases. We are allowed one keg, every two weeks. I'm sure once Dupont get to the price they want, there will be plenty of it. Sounds like it's going to be a while. I found a lead on some and might have some at a good price next week. If you're in the business and want to buys some, let me know.

Ray, call me @ 1-800-777-9047 Monday through Friday. I am looking for some.
You are absolutely right, the price has gone higher than a homesick angel in less than a month.
Have you seen the forum on Dealersedge.com about this?

Thanks,

I knew of this months ago, I bought 2k in 30 pound jugs I used to do a lot of A/C repair the same thing happened with R12 as soon as the patened ran out, the goverment stepped in and slapped on a sure charge, its all a scam but the person that loses is the consumer

About 4 years ago, a friend of mine priced a keg at $1,200.00 :eek:

I am sitting on 9 one pound cans that are worth about $60.00 a can.
